Oh, this one's homogenised!

I thought I had read something about this, but I can't find a source, so take this with some salt.
Even big cats chitter, and while sometimes there's a social aspect where other cats are alerted to the hunt, not all big cats hunt in groups. So I think they chitter to warm their jaws up. Like streatching before exercising, or the jitters you get from adrenaline, the rapid movements ensure they can bite at maximum strength quickly, and without pulling a muscle.
Crackly blue is water? I'd even think ice before water.
Well, not quite. Rust eats into iron because oxidised iron is larger and much more brittle than unoxidised iron, physically ripping itself out of place.
Many oxides arent that much larger than their base metals and form a nice patina protecting the metal underneath, like in aluminium.
Other oxides destroy the structural integrity of the metal and eat into it, forming corrosion. Rust is just corrosion specific to iron.
You've seen onion armour, now fight the pineapple boss!
They can replicate text, but it's not very good, like AI pictures. This has led to many of them having a text phobia, so make sure to carve your name into everything.
Bitchin.
In my experience (which is anecdotal at best), cats can express wildly different levels of intelligence between even littermates, and especially between people interacting with them. Just because you failed to negotiate with them doesn't mean they're incapable of doing what you want them to.
Psychology is notoriously difficult to draw conclusions from because it's so hard to isolate the variables. It's cool to learn some less mainstream science though!
Some cays are definitely a bit higher on the brain utilization. My close relatives and I have seen cats ask for things, specifically do things they know piss you off in front of you, learn and play fetch, tattle on humans, attack door-to-door salesmen that were getting too pushy, and use a mirror to examine themselves. There's also stories of cats that got help from several miles away, woke up their humans when a fire started, chased bears off, comforted the dying specifically in their last week, and more than one that could rather reliably smell cancer.
And then there are those cats that are surprised when their whiskers are still there! XD
So actual hunan downvote bots do exists. I've always wondered but never had the opportunity to check.
It doesn't matter what the intent is here, the headline is misleading, which is poor journalist integrity. Both malice and ignorance can sink a ship.
Partial fertility and magic influence. Orcs and elves aren't interfertile. Genasi aren't half-elementals, they're humans with elemental influence. Perhaps the inherent faeness of elves prevents elf-genasi.
Or take a lineage and do whatever.
